[Chorus: Faith Evans]
I really know how it feels to be
Stressed out, stressed out (Oh, yeah)
When you're face to face with your adversity (Oh)
I really know how it feels to be (Oh, oh)
Stressed out, stressed out (Oh, oh)
We're gonna make this thing work out eventually (Oh)
[Verse 1: Consequence, Q-Tip, & Both]
Yo, I ain't one to complain, but there's things in the game
(What's your name?) Consequence—I'm tight, burnt like flames
(And why's that?) American dreams, they got this ghetto kid in a fiend
Don't stress that, 'cause it's not in your bloodstream
Your whole being comes from greatness—d'you remember?
Shaytan got you caught in the storms of December
And brothers on the block packing nines, like September
Crazy situations keeps pockets on slender (Check it)
Yo, I be on the avenue where they be actin brand-new
I'm splurging on these Reebok joints for shorty-boo
All of a sudden, I saw these two kids frontin'
Talking out they joints but they wasn't saying nuttin'
My hand was on my toolie they was actin' unruly
(Say word) Yo, word up! Yo, I was tight, caught up
But I swallowed my pride and let that nonsense ride
Because I'm positive it seems that negative dies
Yo, we was at the dice game making these cats look silly
Flamming, steady running off at the Willie
I had my cash mixed, my rent due, with my play-dough
I gotta see some loot, so on my girls, I blow
Shook them shits in my palm, let 'em hit the flo'
Kept my eyeballs scoping for them pigs, po-po
I got to go on the ave'; see, my parole by four
But I gotta steady freak these boys like JoJo
And I was doing it 'til I met Ike, Spike, and Mike
One roll, they had my pockets thirstier than Sprite
Yo, I know the feeling—when you feeling like a villain
You be having good thoughts, but the evils be revealin'
And the stresses of life can take you off the right path (No doubt)
Jealousy and envy tends to infiltrate your staff
We gotta hold it down so we can move on past
All adversities, so we can get through fast, like that
I really know how it feels to be
Stressed out, stressed out (Oh, yeah)
When you're face to face with your adversity (Oh)
I really know how it feels to be (Oh, oh)
Stressed out, stressed out (Oh, oh)
We're gonna make this thing work out eventually (Oh)
